Milton Wolff, 92; led U.S. volunteers in Spanish Civil War

Milton Wolff, the last commander of the Abraham Lincoln Brigade, American volunteers who fought in the Spanish Civil War, died of heart failure Jan. 14 in Berkeley. He was 92.

A child of the Great Depression, Wolff dropped out of high school at 15 and started coming into his own politically.

He worked in a millinery factory in Manhattan and joined the Young Communist League, which provided an international lens through which to view the world, including the problems in Spain.”*
